La Tache 1996Domaine de la Romanee Conti
#03161
Bottle (1)"Fantastically pure with the classic spice box, hoisin and soy
nose followed by big, rich, very structured flavors that display
notes of earth, leather and tea. The tannins are big, ripe and are
completely buffered by the sap with length that is simply
phenomenal. This remains completely primary in character and seems
not to have budged at all since it was bottled. A genuinely great
vintage for La Tâche that is softer in the mouth than the '96
Grands Ech and this should improve for another decade and last for
50 years. Very classy juice." (96pts Allen Meadows, Burghound, Jan
